  • Damn! The Optical Department at Sears FAILED!

  • Poor guy didn't handle that very smoothly at all. I certainly wouldn't have done any better though! Great clip.

  • @rxpro19 - The opening instrumental was originally released in 1975 - but 1976 was the point when WMAR first used it as its news theme.

  • @maximushuts - Within a year or two of this clip, Rogers was fired from WMAR after many years with them. His serious, no-nonsense style was increasingly out of place in the changed climate of news that followed in the wake of the "Happy Talk" style that gained a foothold in the late 1960's. It should be noted that WMAR was once "a contenduh" in the news ratings - until rival WBAL hired Rolf Hertsgaard and revamped its newscasts near decade's end.

  • @springloadedchicken - This sure was 1976.  Sept. 27, 1976, based on the lead story.

  • thats terrible

  • another good reason for contacts, aside from reflecting the 'prompter

  • @rxpro19 i was about to say the set and anchors looks too 70's to be 1970

  • I didn't know that opening song was from 70.....came out in 76 i think...date is wrong

  • @thetaxmancometh : Was the building the same one off of York Road that it is today? I interned there for a few summers about 8 years ago

  • LMAO @ 0:01- 0:12 George Collins= Young Johnnie Cochran?
